I am not touting or promoting this in any way! I am just trying to figure out how these people can "cap out" at 50 suckers (I mean players). And what information can they possibly have that is exclusive in today's information world? :confused:

Race player -

We contacted you recently about our new offering - "Money-Capping" . . . Handicapping
and wagering methods that will set you apart from 99.999% of all other players.

We promised a maximum subscribe limit of 50 players in order to help protect the exclusivity
of the information, and thus the betting pools for those who have subscribed. As of right
now there are only four spots remaining. When those are filled, we will allow a short
'waiting list' to build up (say 10 or 12 players) in case anyone decides to drop out - but -
that's it!

So - this is by way of a "last call" for any of you who might be interested in getting in while
you still can.

Sounds like a software pitch I once went for (before HTR), it worked on me (then).

"Once bitten twice shy"

I especially like the "consideration" about protecting the pools! :rolleyes:

Or is that 250, or 550 or 950?

I got it too...you are signing up for a "subscription" service aren't you...but instead of picks, they send you another chapter or something every month. Wait a month and reply asking if they having any openings left...dollars to donuts they will!

Normally if they make it a sense of urgency on your part...beware!

(always best to do the math as well.....50 as $30(?) a month =$1500...barely covers the costs to print and mail every month.)

Didn't it say in there somewhere that you don't even need a program? Ohhh yeah...you will be set apart from 99.999% of all the other players!! That's fer sure. :D

I was wondering if they are doing the "commission on honor" scheme that was popular 30 years ago. I got a letter in the mail a long time ago and I think the horse they told me was a "sure winner" was Air Forbes Won, but who can remember 30 years ago?

My brother and I drove up to Monmouth and sure enough the horse won like a champ. I think the horse paid $2.60, as in you get 60 cents for every 2 dollars! They said they wanted a $20 win bet sent to them if the horse won. So I guess I had no honor when I didn't write them a check for $26 for their tip. I think I even made $6 off it, so that makes me a crook! ;-)

Some players are so bad off, they will gladly pay you money if you show them how to break even. ;-)

here's the deal.

the 0.001% of the players that you won't be set apart from....are HTR players. :D
